Thinking about cultivating an idol, the first term that popped up in Nie Wei's mind was 'AKB48'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And thinking about AKB48, it's not difficult to guess the fat man in front of me who makes him familiar, no wonder this person's appearance is familiar, and the name is also familiar, isn't this a song that created a super producer Yasuya Akihara who cultivated the idol category.
In fact, before the formation of AKB48, Yasu Akihara was already very famous.
The inconspicuous fat man in front of him seems ordinary, but he is actually very talented, and he is also an all-rounder, who can write lyrics, write screenplays, direct, be the producer of the show, and cultivate idol groups.
Although this group has only lasted for two years, it has been a big hit for a while, and with this experience, there will be AKB48, which will be very famous in Asia and even the world in the future, and a bunch of sister groups.
"You must be Yasu Akihara, who used to be the producer of the Kitten Club. Nie Wei confirmed.
"That's right, it's in the next, a small achievement, I didn't expect Mr. Nie Wei to know. Akihara looked at Nie Wei in surprise, his expression was a little surprised, after all, in his opinion, the era of the Kitten Club was too long, and he didn't expect that people of Nie Wei's age would still know.
"I have studied the history of Japanese idols, the kitten club is an indelible milestone, with a group of amateur high school girls as assistants to the program, the threshold is designed to be very low, but the process is very demanding, watching idols grow, or being eliminated, this should be the prototype of your concept of cultivating idols. ā
"That's right, Mr. Nie Wei!!" Akihara Yasu clapped his hands in surprise, and then immediately explained to Nie Wei: "This time I have re-launched a group, called AKB48, which is to continue the concept of the kitten club, and optimize it with my ideas for nearly twenty years, I hope you can take a look at this group of children......"
Speaking of this, Akihara Kang glanced at Nie Wei, and found that the other party's eyes did not fluctuate, and his heart was a little uncertain, but thinking about the purpose of this time, he still mustered up the courage to say it: "Mr. Nie Wei, if I can, I hope to help the children invite you to a song." ā
"Do you want me to create a song for them? ā
"Do you agree?" Akihara Yasu was very excited, to say that the hottest music producer in Japan and even Asia, Nie Wei can definitely rank in the top three, especially the crazy plan before, Nie Wei arranged ten songs on the album from beginning to end, and the ten songs have no lower than eight points in professional music magazines, and the overall score of the album is as high as 8.6 points, one of the best albums in recent years, and there is no doubt that it is a palace-level work.
And this album also proves how terrifying Nie Wei's musical talent is.
The reason why Yasu Akihara asked Nie Wei to invite songs is mainly because the AKB48 he has built himself has been unable to open the situation for a long time, and even half of the audience who goes to the theater every day is not satisfied, and he urgently needs a powerful music producer to help the girls create a good song that belongs to them, and help the dreams of AKB48 girls, or Yasu Akihara's own dreams, to put the most important wings.
"Let me think about it for a moment, and I'll give you an answer. Nie Wei said.
Nie Wei's ambiguous answer made Akihara Yasu's mood turn sharply again, for fear that Nie Wei would not be willing to write songs for his small group, after all, just like some singers only cooperate with top musicians, some top musicians only cooperate with big-name singers, in their eyes, cooperating with small singers will have an impact on their own value.
Yasu Akihara's familiarity with Nie Wei only stops at his musical talent, so it is inevitable that there will be these nonsense speculations.
Nie Wei didn't care about Akihara Kang's thoughts, he was just a little puzzled and wanted to understand.
Walking to the side of Noda Xiong, who was talking to others, Nie Wei called him to the corner and asked, "Do you know anything about AKB48?"
Noda Xiongyi was still puzzled what Nie Wei was asking him to do, hearing Nie Wei ask, he was stunned for a moment, and then tried to think about it for a long time, and then showed a sudden expression.
"I know, that little theater idol? I heard that they are about to disband. ā
"How?"
"Yasu Akimoto just came to you for AKB48, did he want to invite you to sing? Noda Xiong showed a sneer while guessing, and then explained under Nie Wei's puzzled gaze: "AKB48 is said to be a combination made by him in imitation of the kitten club, but this time it was not put on a TV show, but directly placed in a small theater, and performed for the audience face-to-face." ā
Speaking of this, Noda Kumaichi unconsciously showed a sneer, and continued: "But the audience doesn't seem to buy it, in the end, the mode is almost the same, but it's just changed from TV to theater, the audience is like a saint warrior, the same tricks have become immune to these audiences, this combination has developed for more than half a year now, it is said that there are very few audiences who go to the theater every day, and the finances are not enough to make ends meet, and several companies involved in the production have the intention of retreating." ā
"Mr. Nie Wei, just ignore such a person, if he is entangled again, you can tell me, and I will help you solve this trouble perfectly. At the end of the speech, Noda Kumaichi bowed deeply to Nie Wei, expressing his loyalty, in his opinion, as a subordinate, he must have the determination to share the worries of the leader.
And in his eyes, Akihara Kang is a big trouble, whether he falls in love with Nie Wei's musical talent or Nie Wei's funds, these are not what this fat man can hope for, what he has to do is to let this fat man understand this truth.
Glancing at Kumaichi Noda, who thought he was smart, Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh and cry, not knowing whether to praise him for his loyalty or scold him for being short-sighted.
"It's up to me to decide on this matter, and you mainly tell me what you know about this combination. ā
As soon as he heard Nie Wei say this, Noda Kumaichi also understood that he would be wrong, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, but he also saw that Nie Wei did not blame himself, and quickly settled down and told everything he knew.
Nie Wei's doubts are actually in his memory, although there were some difficulties in the early stage of AKB's development, but at this time, he should have embarked on the right path.
But how can you look at Yasushi Akihara's anxious attitude when he asks for songs, and Noda Kumaichi's disdainful expression when he mentions AKB48, this group seems to be mixing badly at the moment?
In Noda Kumeichi's words, Nie Wei found that this combination was really miserable, and it had a certain relationship with himself.
The initial misery of this group was the same as in my impression, but with the development, it is said that for a short period of time, the attendance rate of the theater has exceeded half, but at this time, Alain was born out of thin air, stealing the limelight of AKB48's rise, and then Nie Wei and Alain created a crazy album plan that was in full swing, completely covering up the light of this group.
The blow to AKB48 during that time was too great, and Alan not only stole the normal fans, but also touched the hearts of many otaku because of the divine comedy of "Love Loop", and otaku is precisely the fan base of AKB48.
During that time, the number of people in AKB48's small theater was declining every day, and the attendance rate was less than the number of hands at the worst time, and it went straight back to the pre-liberation period.
It can be said that because of the appearance of Alain, it gave AKB48, a group that had just taken off, a heavy blow, although they did not let them capsize directly, but it was almost the same, and now the attendance rate of this small theater on the weekend is only a pitiful two or three floors, and the operation situation is very miserable, and it is no wonder that some companies want to withdraw their investment.
"In fact, Ai Hui is also involved in this combination, and I know that so many of them are also nagging with my former colleagues during dinner, and it is said that Ai Hui is also going to withdraw his stop loss. In the end, Noda Kumaichi did not forget to vaguely remind Nie Wei that this was a combination that even Ai Hui's head office was not optimistic about.
Nie Wei ignored Noda Kumaichi's last hint, and just sighed in his heart about the power of the butterfly effect.
Unexpectedly, because of his and Alain's crazy record plan, the future Asian group faced the situation of disbandment and collapse, but then again, Nie Wei was really interested in this idol group with hundreds of people.
Bidding farewell to Noda Kumaichi, Nie Wei swept his eyes towards the banquet, and found that Akihara Yasu was still standing in the position just now with a worried face, and when he saw Nie Wei looking over, he hurriedly showed a flattering smile.
"Interesting. This producer, who will be famous in Asia in the future, is now so down, which really makes Nie Wei sigh.
Walking to Akihara Kang's side, Nie Wei didn't talk nonsense, and directly told him that he was very curious about this combination, but his time was urgent, and he was only free tomorrow morning.
"We have a show tomorrow morning, so I'd like to invite you to have breakfast and then go to the theater to see the kids. Akihara couldn't hide his surprised expression and excitedly invited him.
But breakfast is not necessary, Nie Wei said that it is good to pick him up at the hotel at eight o'clock.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you downstairs in time. Akihara Yasu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
After negotiating the matter, Nie Wei and Akihara Kang said goodbye, during this period Nie Wei had seen Alan set his eyes on him no less than five times, obviously the little girl wanted to chat with her, and she was afraid of disturbing her work.
Seeing Nie Wei coming, Alain's expression was obviously a lot brighter, and he was no longer always shaking his head, looking absent-minded.
"Nie Wei, how is my album selling, it's great!" The two got together and touched their glasses, and Alain, who had taken a sip of wine, immediately looked like he was invited to take credit and said.
"Of course it's good, you can be proud to have sold two million albums in the last two years. Nie Wei praised very directly.
As he said, it is really a miracle to be able to sell more than 2 million records in the current record industry as a rookie singer, you must know that the current record industry, even the most developed Japanese record industry in Asia, is going downhill, and even the three major divas now dare not guarantee that their albums will sell two million a month.
Alain, who was praised, was very happy.
"By the way, if you are free tomorrow morning, come with me to a place. Thinking that he would return to Huaxia tomorrow afternoon, he simply took Alan to the small theater of AKB48 in the morning, which was regarded as a relaxation.
"Okay, it's just tomorrow that I'm on vacation. Alan didn't hesitate for a second, and immediately agreed, without even asking where Nie Wei went.
The girl's unhesitating trust made Nie Wei smile and touch the girl's head dotingly.
Early the next morning, before half past seven, Yasu Akihara had already personally driven the best car he could get to the downstairs of the hotel where Nie Wei was staying, and Nie Wei walked out of the hotel on time at eight o'clock.
"I've been waiting. Sitting in the car, Nie Wei said.
"No, I've only been there for five minutes. Akihara Kang lied to Nie Wei and heard it, but he didn't break it, and the other party also remembered his respect for himself.
"Go to this address first. Nie Wei reported Alain's address, and invited the girl to the AKB48 small theater yesterday, of course he will not forget.
Akihara Yasu was a little confused, but he didn't ask much, but soon when Nie Wei called Alain, he also understood that he was going to pick up Alain and go to the theater together.
Soon the car drove to the door of Alain's apartment, Nie Wei called Alain again before the car stopped, and soon Alain walked out of the apartment, showed a bright smile when he saw the car, and immediately trotted over.
"It's a beautiful day. Seeing Alan open the car door and sit in, Nie Wei moved his position to the side and praised it.
Today, Alain is wearing a small straw hat, a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a red cartoon Hello Kitty pattern, and then a pair of suspender jeans, and a pair of white canvas shoes.
Alain was praised, and he was secretly happy that the two hours of matching in the morning were not in vain, and he was a little unspeakably shy, in short, his heart was sweet.
Yasu Akihara, who was sitting in the driver's seat, found an opportunity to say hello to Alain.
Alain only noticed the driver's position at this time, and knew that this was a senior under Nie Wei's introduction, and quickly responded politely, after all, the Japanese entertainment industry still pays attention to the traditions of seniors and seniors.
"This morning we're going to Mr. Akihara's small theater to see a show. In the car, Nie Wei finally told Alan about today's itinerary.
"AKB48?" Hearing the name of this group from Nie Wei's mouth, Alan was a little confused, she had been training in a closed environment for the first half of the year in the Japanese entertainment industry, and then she became popular overnight, and the artists she came into contact with were all popular online, AKB48, a combination that had never even been popular, she naturally didn't know.
Alain's confused appearance Akihara Yasu saw it through the rearview mirror, although he was a little embarrassed, but at this time he was still very conscientious to explain to Alain.
The journey was basically completed during the introduction of AKB48 by Yasu Akihara, and half an hour later, when both Nie Wei and Alain had a lot to know about the group, the car also drove to the AKB48 small theater in Akihabara.
